This project is part of Google Summer of Code 2008.
Student: Vladimir Belousov
Mentor: Pavlov Konstantin

Thanks to everyone who pays attention to my project. I received several letters concerning the idea and I see that it excites many people. I am open to your suggestions.

About the project “GUI interfaces for the browsers plug-ins”

The goal is to add GUI to the Firefox plug-in “in order to have, in the web pages embedded mode, buttons to control VLC media player as in WMP or Youtube player”. Next step is to develop similar plug-in for Internet Explore. Also “a replacement for all preconfigured media players embedded in web pages” should be provided. More detailed description (but a little bit outdated) can be found at the application information page http://code.google.com/soc/2008/videolan/appinfo.html?csaid=CD2BD85FF24811F4.

Who I am

My name is Vladimir Belousov. I’m third-year university student of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (http://phystech.edu). I will have the last examination on 14 June. Now I want to take some exams ahead of the schedule and finally fully to concentrate on the VLC development.
